How do I dispose of large items such as furniture or appliances?

Large items such as furniture, mattresses & household appliances must not be left in ordinary communal bins or beside the bin store unless a collection has been agreed.

Ways to dispose of bulky items

• Ask the retailer whether it will remove an old appliance when delivering a replacement.
• Arrange an approved bulky-waste collection through the local council or waste provider.
• Use an authorised recycling or household waste facility where appropriate.
• Donate usable furniture to a suitable charity or reuse organisation.
• Ask the on-site team about safe access & collection arrangements for large items.

Some services may charge for removal, and you remain responsible for arranging disposal of belongings you no longer want.

Do not leave old sofas, mattresses or fridges in corridors, plant rooms, parking areas or shared spaces. They create safety risks & may obstruct other residents.

If you are moving out, arrange collection before your tenancy ends. If an item is left behind, reasonable removal costs may be recoverable under the agreement & applicable law.
